What do the bread-and-butter things that churches regularly do look like through the lens of the values of "Mission-shaped Church"?

The narrative, which takes place in London, centers on the life of Arthur Golding, a prosperous businessman and seasoned traveler. Even if he has succeeded financially, Golding is not happy or content with his life. He yearns for something more contented and significant. These interactions cause him to start doubting his own morals and convictions. His awareness of the inequities and disparities in society grows, and he begins to feel compassion for those who are less fortunate than himself. The work delves into themes related to social class, affluence, and the pursuit of personal fulfilment. It is a critical examination of the human condition and a commentary on the society it is placed in. Gissing creates characters that are nuanced and vivid, and his prose is captivating and perceptive. All things considered, The Town Traveler is an engaging book that presents a distinctive viewpoint on life in Victorian England.

2021 Association of Catholic Publishers third place award in biography When asked what he wanted written on his tombstone, Fr. Theodore Hesburgh responded with one word: Priest. This giant of a man—a man who advised presidents and counseled popes, who championed civil rights and world peace, who accepted 16 presidential appointments and 150 honorary degrees, who served an unprecedented thirty-five years as president of the University of Notre Dame—could have listed any number of accolades. Instead, he chose his first and most important vocation. Fr. Ted never felt that his calling to be a priest set him apart. Rather, it drew him into relationships with others and out in service to the world. It was a call to serve as mediator, to bridge the divides that separate church and society, conservatives and liberals, the powerful and those on the margins. He spent his life bringing people together. This new biography is the first to tell the story of the spirituality that shaped one of the twentieth century’s most distinguished public servants. It is a story to inspire all those who strive to live out their faith in the midst of a deeply divided world.
